A Private Event on Mission Assurance & Supply Chain Risk

An evening for candid conversation among peers — off the record, no sales pitches.

The convergence of AI adoption and increasingly complex, global supply chains is reshaping how federal agencies and defense contractors manage risk. Firmware, hardware, and third-party components once treated as “below the radar” are now recognized as critical attack surface — and the stakes for getting this wrong have never been higher.

At The Trusted Table, we’re convening an invitation-only group of security and technology leaders from across the federal and defense industrial base for a private event on what it actually takes to secure the infrastructure our missions depend on.

This is not a briefing, not a vendor pitch, and not for attribution. It’s a candid conversation and networking, among people who carry similar responsibilities.

What to Expect

  • Frank discussion of the real challenges in securing IT and AI infrastructure across complex supply chains.
  • Practical approaches to strengthening supply chain risk management and third-party assurance.
  • Perspectives you won’t find in a white paper or compliance checklist — from leaders addressing these problems today.
  • Relationships with peers who understand the mission and the stakes.

Who’s at the Table
Attendees are security, technology, and risk leaders from federal agencies and the defense industrial base with a shared interest in supply chain and mission assurance challenges. The format is designed for substantive, practical conversation among peers working on similar problems.

Reserve Your Seat
